Endure Procedure

A few days ago I heard that my second cousin goes to dialysis. This poem is dedicated to anyone who has ever been in the dentist's chair or the operating room as a patient.

Endure Procedure

26 October 2010

Do whatever it is you do,

And give my body back when you’re thru.

Regardless of the actions you take

Please, leave my body in reasonable shape.

Sometimes the pain

Is too much of a drain,

So to keep from becoming a wreck

I’ll just drop and hit the deck.

While you monitor my temperature

I’ll just lie here and snore.

Things will get better I’m sure

After I wake up stiff and sore.

Then the recovery will begin

And I hope to become myself again.
